Hey good looking, feeling the need to talk to you. Can't believe we are already, once again, in October. Time sure is flying by so fast, the days all seem to blend in together. Every time I visit this site, I have such a pain in my heart every time I reach out to you along with this lump in my throat that sometimes is so hard to hold back the tears. We had so many plans we wanted to accomplish, only now they are a distant memory. Another October and another birthday for you. I will celebrate your life on your birthday and will wish you so much happiness, love, peace, and wish we were together today, tomorrow, and forever. I can't accept that you are no longer here with me, my mind and especially my heart won't accept it. It just can't be true, and this is all just a very bad dream and not possible. Never in my life did I ever think this would happen, especially to you. I'm sorry if I ever took you for granted because my love and admiration along with my affection for you was always my top priority when it came to you. I could not have loved anyone more than I have loved and admired you. I know the words that say I miss you so much are only words, but the impact of those words is crushing to me and have changed my life and have changed me. You are my soul mate and the best part of me and the love of my life and without you I am so lost and shattered and so empty inside. Paul you were always that shining light in my life, you stood by my all my life since we first met when we were both 15 and have been in love ever since. I hate this life without you, it will never be the same as I still look for your phone calls and look for you. I love you more than life itself and look forward to the day we can be together again. You are my eternity and please don't forget us. The evolution of life will be complete when we are reunited. I love you so much Paul. Sending you lots of hugs and kisses from me to you. When I do hug you, I'm not letting you go I'll be with you for all eternity so our journey will begin once again. I keep you close to my heart and always on my mind and always met with tears because I miss you so much. I look forward to the day we can be together. Hugs and kisses, Love you forever -n- always, your LOVING WIFE, Margaret.

Hey good lookin, not a day goes by that I'm not thinking of you. I will never accept that you are not here, no matter how much time goes by, I still can't accept that you are not here. You had so many dreams you wanted to accomplish, you wanted to get a boat but you just couldn't choose which one you wanted. I always told you to get the boat you have always wanted, but you were more concerned about me and the girls being comfortable when we were on the water. You have always been so thoughtful of us and always putting us first instead of yourself. As each day goes by, I feel as though I'm living in hell since you left. The loneliness is heart wrenching and at times unbearable. I walk outside, look up in the sky and talk to you, sometimes crying trying to figure out why you never told me about your heart condition. We could have gotten you to the hospital before that final day if only you would have told me. We talked about growing old together and how we would take care of each other, downsizing our home and going on all those trips we talked about. I just can't see myself ever going on those trips without you, I'll wait until I get to heaven and you and I can continue on our journey, no matter where it takes us, just as long as we are together. I love you Paul so much and miss you with all my heart. It seems like no matter what I do it just doesn't seem to matter to me. I hate that you are not here with me and I pray every night before I go to bed asking GOD to bless your soul, bless your heart, and bless your spirit because GOD created an awesome man, and it was YOU. I pray that you can hear me talk to you every day and every night because that's what keeps me going right now. The girls still sleep on your side of the bed, underneath the bed on your side. I'm sure remembering all those times when you were here with us they remember you and you will never be forgotten. I got that picture of the boys that Jessica gave us for Christmas the one that fell and the frame broke, I got it reframed at Michaels. I know you were extremely upset that it fell off the wall and broke and you always wanted to go and get a frame so we could hang it up. I got it framed, sorry it took this long but I could not find a frame for it so I had it professionally framed with a silver frame and red matting. Looks amazing as I know red is your favorite color. I'll take a picture of it and add to your posting. I love you so much Paul and I miss you so much. I love you with all my heart and soul and look forward to the day that we can be together for all eternity. I will honor you all the days of my life until I take my last breath and I see you standing there with your hand extended to take mine and we can be together for all eternity. Love you so very much Paul, your LOVING WIFE always, Margaret, forever and always. Sending you lots of kisses and hugs. oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Hey Good Looking, not a day goes by that you aren't on my mind and always in my heart. I guess you can say that I am still in shock that you are no longer here with me. I don't think I will ever accept that you are no longer here with me. I still think of you calling me once you got to work in the morning and again before you go to lunch with the guys. I want you to know that the tears never stop falling when I think of you, I miss you so damn much it's killing me from the inside shredding my heart into pieces. Paul, my life stopped when you left me and I remember every second of every moment that day we were together only to watch you take your last breath and I couldn't do anything to save you and at that moment, I too died with you. No material items that we have accumulated over the years together mean anything to me, without you. I have no more joy in my life, only heartache and tremendous sadness that we won't be holding hands again or going for our drives and getting coffee together. My entire life has stopped and now I look forward to the day I can be with you, that is my wish. My sister tells me to move forward and remember the good times but until someone loses the love of their life, their soul mate, the man who was always by my side for 51 years, I say you have no idea what you are telling me. I seem to have lost my existence and I can't move forward, my whole life was you, Paul and all our dreams for our future, and finally getting the boat you wanted and seeing that smile on your face. Your happiness is all that mattered to me and the love we shared is unbreakable and everlasting. I miss you so much it's so lonely without you here. I pray to you every night and to God and ask him to Bless you because you are definitely one of the Good Guys that God created. You are the love of my life and I miss you all the time. The nights are the worst for me because you are not here to go to bed with and cuddle. Paul, life for me is such a struggle because of the loneliness I struggle with all the time without you here or never to get another call from you. I hold all your voice messages close to my heart and soul and cry so hard because it feels like you are still here with me, only I just can't hug you or kiss you. It is extremely painful when you lose half of yourself, and Paul you are the best part of me that I lost. I miss you so much and don't know what the future holds for me or where I will end up at but I just can't seem to move forward without you. I miss you and love you dearly and look forward to the day we can be together again. Love you forever and always, your Loving Wife, Margaret. Forever in my heart and always on my mind. I Love You, Paul. xoxoxoxoxo I sure wish we could go deep sea fishing and see you smile as you caught the big one. I love you Paul.

Hey good lookin, I'm always thinking of you and wishing we were together. It's already September and the days are flying by so fast, hard to keep up with what day it is. Each day I relive it over and over again, waking up with you, fixing breakfast, kissing you goodby as you left for work. I miss your call telling me you got to work safely which always made me feel grateful you got to work safely. Paul, I still look for your call around lunch time telling me how your lunch was with the guys and then your call telling me you are on your way home. I loved having you home just to hang out and be together then the big question, what do we want for dinner. When I think of you this lump appears in my throat, the tears just roll down my cheeks and I find myself uncontrollably crying missing you so much and wishing there was something I could have done to save you. I carry this guilt with me always wishing I could have known there was something wrong with you and took you to the hospital. Paul, I am so sorry I failed you and now my life is torn apart and my heart is shattered, never to feel those feelings you gave me. I know I'll never ever get over losing you and watching you die in front of me; I truly wish no one ever go through what I experienced and felt at that moment you took your last breath in front of me. I pray to God that you knew how much I loved you and adored you and how much my heart aches for you. I feel as though I am a total disaster inside and out and just can't and don't want to move forward. For me, there are no more memories to make because you are not here with me. I can't seem to move forward, can't make any plans on my future because you are not here with me. The heart ach is so real and so deep inside of me just the thought of you brings me to my knees in sorrow, the joy died with you along with all my love and happiness and now I know what it feels like to be all alone in this life. I Hate it, Paul, I hate that you are not here and that God chose to take you at such a young age and we had our whole life together to enjoy each other and be together and now I'm all alone. I keep you close to me and always in my heart and thoughts of you are always with me. I don't want to be one of these people who seem to live forever because there is no more happiness or love in my life, it died with you and that's where I want to be, with you no matter what life is like after we die or where we end up, just as long as I'm with you for all eternity holding your hand as we continue our journey, wherever it takes us. I love you so much Paul and miss you with all my heart and this is so unfair for us both who have worked our ass off to make it in life and to have it all shattered and destroyed because God decided to take you without any warning. If I could talk to God right now, face to face, I would let him know what he did was pure bullshit and mean and he destroyed two lives and took their love and cancelled their life. Why not take both of us, why only one, only to leave the one left behind shattered, shocked, lonely, hurt, and unable to ever get over the loss, how is that merciful to the ones left behind? That is what I would ask God face to face and if I had a choice in this matter, I'd ask to go be with my husband, Paul, and not be left behind. How do we pick up our shattered lives and move forward after such a tragic and emotionally loss with no future to plan? Paul, I may not express my heart and soul to you every day but you are always with me and I am constantly praying to God every nigh to please ask God to Bless your Soul, Spirit, and bless your heart because you are what God wanted his children to be, kind, generous, hard working, love of family, put others before yourself, honesty, integrity, and do right by yourself. You were cut from God on how he wanted his children to be and only a select few ever achieved God's wish for his children and you were one of them. I am truly blessed that I met you moving from Vermont to Florida, what were the changes of ever meeting you, so thank you dad for losing your job in Vermont and moving us to Tampa, Florida and moving to a street where you lived right down the street from us. Yes, that is how it all began, playing sports in the road, you driving by all the time and then us getting together and loving every minute spent with you. Thank you God for Paul, a true blessing, a man who was made in heaven only to meet me and love me for me. Thank you Paul for loving me and always being by my side and now I wait until it's my time to be with you. So much to believe in we were lost in time but now it seems so far away, where do silent hearts go to beat now, can't live without you now without always remembering our times together never forgetting how you made my heart always skip a beat when you were with me and how your hugs were always reassuring that you were always with me, and now I feel so alone, I find myself hugging you picture I took of you that morning, holding you close and crying because I miss you so much. Please always remember how much I love you and miss you. Please never forget us and please wait for me so we can be together. I'll love you forever and always, your loving wife, Margaret. Hugs and kisses being sent to you always. I love you Paul xoxoxoxoxoxo

Hello Good Lookin, it's me, the woman who loves and misses you dearly. I don't think I will ever come to terms that you are not here with me. The days just seem to fly by and now we are in August and my life still is at a standstill. Paul, the sadness that is in my heart for you and more so that I was left behind without you. My life is shattered without you, nothing is real anymore. The routine is numb and the girls are more needy than ever now that you are not here. I show them your picture and still do the routine you used to do with them each morning, asking them what day is it and then giving them their greenie. For me the pain is a constant reminder of you leaving me. Our whole life has been together, ever since we were 14 years old, we grew up together and attended each other's graduation and proms and it was our story together. We loved each other so much and I hold those memories of us so tight because I never want to forget our love and I hold you close to me. We planned our wedding a year in advance and paid as we planned so our parents did not have to foot the bill, we did that and what a beautiful wedding we had. I still remember the birth of our kids each one of them and I remember you most of all. For our daughter, you held her first and took her to the room before I ever saw her. The look on your face as you held your daughter, so full of love and happiness. Even more special because she was a Valentines baby born with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes. I saw how protective you were of her as you held her close to you. Paul, the love you have for me and your kids is way beyond anyone's imagination. Your love for us was so powerful and touching, it showed on your face every time we saw you, when you came home from work and all those hugs and kisses. I pray to God that he blesses your soul and spirit and takes away all your pain and replaces it with love and happiness. I know you are with your mom, dad, and brother along with your aunts and uncles who dearly LOVE you PAUL. I, too, LOVE you PAUL, and can't wait to be with you again. Please wait for me and please don't forget me. So many hugs and kisses being sent to you from me. My heart aches for you and you are always on my mind and in my heart. Love you so very much, your loving wife, Margaret who misses you so much. xoxoxoxoxo You are missed and loved dearly.

Hey Good lookin, well today is July 4th and you aren't here to see the fireworks with me but know you are always in my heart and forever a part of my soul. The days never get easy and at times I just wished the next day never came. I sat outside with the girls listening to your voice messages and cried non stop because it felt like you were still here with me. The girls kept looking around for you to appear because they recognized your voice but you didn't show. Paul, it doesn't matter how many days go by or years the pain is never ending and I miss you dearly and life for me has no future. All the days just seem to run together with no ending until I can be with you that seems to be what life is for me. I pray every night to God and pray for your happiness and that you are not alone and reunited with your family, all of whom love you dearly. You are so loved here and deeply missed so much that the pain cuts like a knife never ending. The moment you left me and God took you from me is when my life and my world stopped and froze that moment in time and that's when my future died with you. Now, all I think about is the day I can be with you and never being lonely but being with you and holding hands, never letting go of each other. This world isn't what it used to be, so much greed, power hungry politicians willing to do whatever it takes to be in control. Not a world worth fighting for anymore no one can be trusted to put humanity first and little do they realize it, they can't take it with them in the end. Paul, your life was ended too quickly we had so many plans to fulfill, we were getting a boat, spending weekends on the water with the girls you were going to retire and we were going to spend more time together enjoying life together. Now I have memories and lots of photos to remind me of the times we .had together wishing I held you tighter, kissed you more and held you closer to me at night. Now, I hold you picture I took of you that morning close to me at night always praying to God to please keep you safe and fill your soul with lots of love and ask that you please wait for me and never forget us and the love we have. No one can understand or feel the pain I feel every day without you here with me, the tears never stop and the heartache never goes away and always feeling so much guilt because I didn't know how sick you were. You didn't let me in, you didn't tell me because if you had, we would have been at the hospital and you would be here with me today. Paul, I miss you so much and you are the love of my life my soul mate. You are my whole life and without you life is so lonely and sad. I love you with all my heart and soul because a part of you lives in my soul and a part of my soul is with you. I'll love you forever -n- always your loving wife, Margaret. Lots of hugs and kisses being sent to you from me and you are always on my mind every second of every day you are in my thoughts. I love you Paul so much.

Hey Good Looking, I woke up this morning thinking of all the rides we used to take on the weekend and remembering the times we walked on the boardwalk on the causeway over the water. Holding hands together and watching people ride their bikes, roller blade, push strollers, and you and I just enjoying our time together with the sun and wind in our face. I miss our time together. I miss all our rides, stopping off to get our coffee first and then continue our journey. I loved that you drove because I'm really bad with directions, but you were such a pro and always knew where to take us. I hold those memories so close to my heart and at night as I close my eyes, I reach back in my mind and go over those drives we took and remember us and how we enjoyed just being out but felt guilty because we left the girls home alone. The days are lonely without you but my life is even lonelier without you here. I'm not quite sure how I'm still able to get up in the mornings and push through the day because my days are filled with anger and all I do is cry and miss you not being here. It's not fair that you went the way you did and I just hate it and hate being here without you. You left me behind and that's not where I want to be, I want to be with you so I just say my prayers at night and even during the day I find myself praying to GOD and to you that you know how much I love you and deeply miss you and life for me will never be the same. I LOVE you Paul forever -n- always your Loving Wife, Margaret. so many hugs and kisses being sent to you.

Hey Good looking, it just shreds my heart every time I pull up your obituary. Never in a million years did I ever think I'd be looking at this obituary of you. I've always hoped that we would go together and neither one of us left behind to suffer the agonizing feeling of left behind without us together. Every day and every night the tears appear and the feeling in my heart and in the pit of my stomach cries out in pain with your loss. Just to talk to you and to sit down with you and have our coffee together is never going to happen for us again at least not in this life. It's so hard to put into words how this pain generates throughout my body and soul leaving me helpless and still in total denial that you won't be walking in the door after work. I will never accept that you are gone, I just won't go there even though I know you will never be coming home again I just can't bring myself to believe it. Yes, I am in total denial in my heart because you are my life you are my reason for existing in this terrible world, you are my happiness, the love of my life and now I know what empty feels like. Paul, we shared a lifetime together from early teenagers to what was supposed to be our golden years together and now I must try and exist alone, sad, with no purpose. Our retirement years were supposed to be our best years together because I got to spend every day with you exploring adventures we only talked about and now were able to make them a reality. The quietness of our home is heartbreaking without you and our girls still look for you even when we are outside, they still run to the gate thinking you are coming down that long driveway. Anika even looks down the fence to see if you are driving down only to stand at the gate still looking for you. I know the pain I feel I can only imagine their loss and love for you Paul. Paul, it's more than I could ever have expected to handle and come out of this a whole person again with the same vision of what life should be for us only to experience the greatest tragedy that life has just thrown at me and still try and keep the faith? What Faith? I always believed that GOD was the creator of Life not the destruction of Life. When GOD created you Paul, he created you in his image, so perfect. Through your kindness, generosity, always putting others first in your life, always trying to please everyone and that's including your clients, your work employees, your boss, your kids, grandkids, the way you took care of our home, never once did you ever complain because you loved your family. You sacrificed so much of yourself Paul for those around you and in your life never once did you ever think twice about your devotion. Each day Paul, I honor the love we shared, and I honor you Paul not only as my beloved husband, but I honor you Paul for the man you are and for all that you have given me and this family. You truly are one of GOD's greatest creation, my husband whom I am so very proud of you and miss you so much. Paul, I so look forward to the day God will let me come home to be with you, and then and only then will I truly find happiness, my happy place with you for all eternity to walk with you hand in hand to the next chapter in our life. A glorious day when I can be reunited with you Paul. I'll always love you forever -n- always, the love of my life who I will always cherish and honor, and love for all the rest of my days until we are together. I Love You Paul so much and miss you so much. Hugs and kisses being sent to you from me; until we are together again, Your Loving Wife, Margaret. Please wait for me and please don't forget me. Thank you for our life together and thank you for saying I DO. I carry you with me always close to my heart and forever in my soul. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH PAUL.

To the most amazing Husband, Father, and Grandfather that God Created and deserves Happy Father's Day. I dedicated to you my whole heart and soul and looked forward to spending the rest of our lives together. With each passing day, the struggle increases and once again, the tears never stop. Paul, meeting you, marrying you, and building a life with you was the most incredible time in my life. Missing you every day is more than I can take, the memories of us and all our dreams shattered as I stood there listening to the doctor tell me you left this earth. I still feel that pit in my stomach that seems to have made its home in my heart. I know your daughter won't write on this posting but will honor you in her own thoughts and your son sends messages to your phone. If only your son was more of a son to you and cared enough about you to give his time to come see you or actually call you on the phone to talk to you instead of messaging you. I guess now the guilt eats at everyone for not taking time out of their schedule to make that personal call or take the time to come see their father. I live with your loss every day and it never gets easy and the pain never goes away. I honor you always for the man I married and for the love we shared and our commitments to each other. Being alone is scarey without you here but I keep you in my prayers every night. I miss you so much and look forward to the day we can be together again and walk our journey hand in hand never to let you go but to always be by your side. You were my strength when I felt weak and was always there for your family. God created a miracle when God created You, Paul. Until we are together again, I will hold you close to my heart and honor you always for all your hard work and devotion. You are the light of my life. Happy Father's Day, Paul, I Love You. Your Loving Wife, Margaret hugs and kisses being sent to you. I Love You Paul xoxoxoxoxoxox

To the most amazing Husband, incredible FATHER, I'm wishing you a Happy Father's Day. Our family is so Blessed to have you as a Husband and as a Father. Paul, you have given so much of yourself and of our precious time together in teaching our children about life's mysteries that they will encounter during their growing years. You, and you alone, Paul, have devoted all your time in guiding, teaching, and mentoring not only our daughter but our son. Paul, as I stood by your side during some of our most difficult times we became strong parents and never waivered our beliefs in helping our kids obtain their paths in life. As their Father, your patience, devotion, and love continued in their lives even after they became adults. I honor you Paul, not just today, but every day, not only as my Loving Husband but as the Father of our children. You always stood by them no matter what paths they took. Paul, I can only hope, now, more than ever, now that you are not here with me physically, but spiritually with me always, but as your soul rests in Heaven, that both our kids remember the wisdom, and most importantly the Love from your heart, that you have given them throughout their lives and our hopes that they learn to pass on to their children. I pray with all my heart that as our kids grow in Love and that they remember their FATHER with Love, and affection, and they find the time in their lives today, being Fathers Day, that they remember their father and what he has done for them throughout their lives growing up and for all that he has given them and always being there for them. Paul, every day continues to be a struggle for me going through each day without you is more than I can handle. The tears never stop and the pain in my heart is deep and cuts like a knife. Paul, I miss you so much and miss our life together but I will always carry my love for you in my heart and my soul will rejoice once we are together walking eternity together holding hands telling you I'll never let you go ever again, where you go I go. Happy Father's Day to the Love of My Life. May God Bless you Paul for all your guidance and all your kindness and all your love you have not only given to me but also given to your kids. Today, tomorrow, and forever you will always be with us and your spirit will live on forever in us each every day and even after our bodies are no longer you will be our constant life in our life. Forever and always you are the Love of My Life. I Love you Paul. Your loving wife, Margaret. I will always be by your side not only in this life but I will be by your side in the next life. I will always honor you Paul and our devotion to one another. I Love you Paul, the love of my life. Forever -n- Always, your loving Wife, Margaret. Hugs and kisses coming your way. Love You xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey Good Lookin, well it's a few days after my birthday and I just couldn't bring myself to write you and tell you what a miserable day it was for me. You not being here and missing out on one of your beautiful cards was too much for me to handle. The day was extremely hard for me without you, like I just didn't want that day to come, would have loved to just skipped over it for the next day. I cried a lot that day, okay most of the day I cried, thinking of you and missing you so much it made my heart hurt. I remember before I went to bed that night, I was crying holding your urn close to my heart and wishing I could be with you. The tears never end when I think of you. I remember praying to God to ask for forgiveness for not being a better wife to you and for not realizing you were not in good health. I also asked for your forgiveness, Paul, for not always being by your side and for that, I will live a life of regret for the time spent apart. After my prayers to God and to you Paul, I guess I fell asleep but the only thing I remember when waking up the next morning was a calm feeling. I experienced you in my sleep, Paul. The only words I remember were to you saying, we only have this day to be together". How strange that is all that I remember during my sleep. I know God heard my prayers of desperation and your spirit was with me, comforting me and in my unconscious state of sleep, we were together, I felt you and we were together holding hands and walking together. I pray you are reunited with your family in heaven and that you are no longer in pain. The Skidmore family is such a loving, giving, caring, family, with so much love and devotion for you, Paul, not only as a son, grandson, brother, but also a nephew, to your family in heaven. I have never experienced so much LOVE from a family as I have from the Skidmore Family, a family I am deeply honored to be part of and blessed to have been invited in this family. Paul, I pray our two kids learn the value of family, love, and realize just how blessed they have been to have a father as wonderful as you, Paul and the many sacrifices you have made for each. I get excited knowing that one day I will be reunited with you, to hold your hand once again, and to walk beside you for all eternity. Truly and only then will my heart and soul be at rest because I will be with the love of my life, you, Paul. Until that day comes, I will always honor you and keep you close to my heart and always and forever in my soul. For me, every day is filled with sadness with no real future without you. It's like Groundhog Day, same old same old. I will never accept that you are no longer with me, I just can't accept it and never will. You will always be with me in all that I do and cherish our memories together. I'll love you forever and always, your loving wife, Margaret who loves you deeply. Life has shown me that it is an illusion to think that more comfort means more happiness; Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, think freely, enjoy simply, to be needed. Paul, you are my happiness, being with you is my happy place. Many and lots of hugs and kisses coming to you today, tomorrow, and always. I love you, Paul and can't wait for the day we can be together once again. You are my shining star, the star that lights my life up. A huge hole in my heart and in my life that I will never recover from. I LOVE YOU, PAUL.

Paul, i took this picture of the eagle circling around me before he decided to sit on a branch in front of me. I was crying so hard that when I looked up at him, he was looking at me. He stood so tall never moving just looking at me. After about a minute he spread his wings lifted himself up off the branch turned his head one last time in my direction and flew away. He feels my pain.

Hey good lookin, I've been thinking of you so much and couldn't even describe the pain I've been experiencing because unless you've gone through what I've gone through there are no words. Paul, each day is more than a struggle for me, it's a nightmare that I keep living, that moment that I heard you take your last breath. I called out your name, I hit you chest, I shook you while all the time i continued to drive hoping you would wake up or I got to the hospital, but you never responded to me. I cried, I called out your name, I shook you but you did not respond. You left me without saying goodbye without telling me you were having heart problems. All I know is you left me all alone without one word from you about your pain. Paul, i am a wreck inside and out and I'm stuck, I can't go forward I can't make any memories because you are not here with me. The girls are also in mourning over losing you, Anika and Sloan roam the house looking for you. You left us without a word and I am so lost I can't move forward. I cry just thinking of you and I'm constantly listening to your voice messages you have left me in the past. Hearing your voice and the love in your words tears my heart out and I ask God to please let me be with you how much more do I have to suffer? My life has stopped now it's just going through the motions of the day-to-day chores. I find myself praying constantly for you and I pray to God and to our creators asking them to please let me be with you, my existence has no meaning anymore. My life was surrounded by you and us fulfilling our dreams of the future. I know you are gone but it's my heart and my soul that doesn't accept it. I am angry and that word doesn't come close to how I'm really feeling about you being taken from us. I know your soul is in heaven with your mom, dad, grandparents, and even with your brother but what is killing me is that I'm not there with you. I love you so much Paul an the other day I was crying so hard that I began to shake and all of a sudden I looked up in the sky and down flew an eagle, curled around me and percent himself on a tree limb right in front of me. He stayed long enough for me to take his picture and I felt in my heart it was a message from you that I'm not alone you are close by. You are forever in my heart and soul until we are together again,I'll always love you Paul. Love you forever n always your loving wife, Margaret

We were all shocked about Uncle Paul's sudden passing and are grieving with you all during this time. We so wanted to be there with you today. I will be remembering our fun trip to Kentucky today where we had a blast Go-Kart racing together. He was very competitive ( and so was I) and surprisingly good at spinning me out. I remember going over one of the landscaped burms and looking at the attendant working to see if we were going to get in trouble. He just laughed and waved us on! Meanwhile, all I could see was Uncle Paul's tail lights and hear him hooting. Nothing like a little racing to get a Hayden's blood going! I wish we had more time to make more of these fun memories. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you all need anything at all.

Very sorry to hear of Coach’s passing. He was my first baseball coach and always enjoyed being on his teams over the years. I know he will be missed as he was an influence in many lives. I pray for peace and comfort for those who knew him and loved him.

It comes with great sadness that I write these thoughts. I have known Paul for almost 50 years. We worked together during a great number of those years. I first trained him as an engineering draftsman and watched him grow professionally through his part time work and attendance at USF's School of Engineering. I remember when he got his professional engineering license; he was very proud of that, as he should. I remember his children being born and growing up, and Paul's involvement in their activities. He was a good husband, father and professional engineer. I will surely miss him. Godspeed Paul E. Skidmore, P.E.
